It seems to me that most of WSB crowd forget this kind of things.

IDK but another sane option would be that the regulator just pause trading on such stocks "until further notice" (I don't even know whether this is possible, but I guess that politicians can do whatever they agree to and pass a law or regulation)

Even if they don't, even if the funds go bust, only the early sell-offs from WSB will profit, while diamond-hands might be left with tons of $15 stocks that they paid $350 for...

As a personal anecdote through the pandemic and election, I've found out several things:
1. Twitter, for me, is incredibly detrimental to my mental health. I felt the need to check it until the inauguration, but took several breaks and was shocked how much better I felt. Now I think I might just stay away from it almost entirely.
2. Facebook, on the other hand, has been generally good for me, since I got rid of toxic people and just kept lightly in touch with a small set (maybe 20) of people that I enjoy interacting with. My enjoyment of it has improved, although I'd still rather have a different way of doing it. Plus, it is only 15 minutes per day or so, so it's benefit to my life is minimal.
3. Reddit. Generally still like it, although much less so since there has been a drop in quality contributors, an increase in politics, and generally less fun overall. But as long as I stay away from contentious subreddits, I like reading it. It is more of a time sink than a mental health drain (although that's related, too)
4. Hacker News: I've grown to greatly appreciate the strict moderation and find it is a great example of a "good" social site. It adds value, but it isn't a time sink.

As for mass media, it is far too driven by reaction, and I mostly avoid all of it. In-depth general media, and focused media are more interesting. The Economist is generally great, for instance, because most everything is in depth. I've recently taken to reading a shipping news site, and that is interesting because I can hear more pertinent information about, say covid, because they aren't reporting about covid, but reporting the effects of covid.

Mostly I think we need more education and training for our population on handling media. Too many people seem to take whatever the read as truth and insert it directly into their brain without an skepticism or critical thought. I hate that. Everyone should have a "news vestibule" in their brain where new information must sit and be verified before they allow it into their mind as a whole.

Lastly, I'm now much more inclined to pay for content than I was 5 years ago.

I suppose you're right. Lashing out is not a slow release of the pressure within that will save you from popping your balloon, it's the pop itself.

Not all people have set up a structure in their lives that allow them to slowly release that pressure. We do not all have people in our lives that we can talk to about our feelings. Social media might help these folks.

If I were to lash out at you during lunch or while we're in meeting, people would probably ask me to calm down and say "hey dude, what's going on, you're acting irrational, where is this anger coming from?" and "can we help you in some way, so that you won't feel the need to be so aggressive?"

Social media, however, has not only made flame wars easier to achieve, it has also made it much easier to ignore any concern we might have for the lasher-outers, the people who are clearly in need of some love and affection. In social media, we burn these people by stripping them of their karma.

I find poorly designed karma systems, not social media, to be at fault.
Intelligent machines: Should we model the mind or the brain?
"The fiercely controversial subject that has riven the field is perhaps the most basic question in AI: To achieve intelligent machines, should we model the mind or the brain? The former approach is known as symbolic AI, and it largely dominated the field for much of its 50-plus years of existence. The latter approach is called neural networks. For much of the field’s existence, neural nets were regarded as a poor cousin to symbolic AI at best and a dead end at worst. But the current triumphs of AI are based on dramatic advances in neural-network technology, and now it is symbolic AI that is on its back foot. Some neural-net researchers vocally proclaim symbolic AI to be a dead field, and the symbolic AI community is desperately seeking to find a role for their ideas in the new AI."

Um... yeah, I disagree. No cushioning is going to survive for 50 years, and something like an office chair should be rotated far sooner than that (or maintained with replacement cushioning/support) to keep the ergonomics intact. Especially for an office chair (assuming this is something like an 8-hr chair and not a short duration task chair).

Yep. Though the same pathologies exist even with this framing. By that I mean it's easy to misdiagnose what the "knowledge" actually is. Even totally identical types and behaviors can be distinct in the knowledge sense if they exist in different contexts.
Eh. Responsible consumption of media isn't something we're magically endowed with when we turn 18. It's a skill like any other. Obviously there's a point at which children are too underdeveloped to be responsible about media consumption, but teenagers aren't idiots. If a youtube video is feeding them bullshit, they'll usually be able to tell. Not all teenagers are that savvy, mind you, but we've learned in recent years that not all adults are either.
Yes both random emails and from phone numbers.
My take is that users are coming to view upgrades as dangerous because tech companies have made them stupidly dangerous.

Upgrades should never be irreversible. If something breaks, or a feature you rely on is removed, you should be able to downgrade—preferably to a snapshot which was automatically created for precisely this circumstance.

Strong network effects + capitalism. They found a good way to make lots of money, which allowed them to pay lots of skilled people to spend their time getting more people into the system and looking at ads.

The problem, IMO, is that most users don’t understand how social media works from a business perspective. Advertising companies put a lot of effort into not being known as advertising companies.

Another fun thought experiment: consider who runs political ads, especially local advertisers (highway billboards etc) and what speech they’re willing to accept. Consider Comcast / cable networks and what speech they’re willing to accept. Who are their customers, how are they making money, and how does that affect what speech they are willing to accept on their platforms.

As a photographer using Darktable professionally, I find the lens correction from Darktable better than the ones from Lightroom — which I stopped using for good early last year —, but it may differ from camera to camera. The Fuji X-T3 I use already does a lot of correction by itself.

I am not sure if you know this, but I guess it does not hurt to say it: if you are on Linux, you may need to update the Lensfun's database used by Darktable, as they are separate things for some reason.

Assuming you have the liblensfun-bin package installed, just run lensfun-update-data to update the database for your user, or sudo lensfun-update-data to update it system-wide.

No idea how this work for other platforms.
I'd love some insight in how this industry works. I know there's some shops that literally do woodworking and upholstry for that bespoke furniture, but as far as I know, most of it is designed for industry production and mass produced. And indeed, if it's one thing IKEA is doing, it's exactly design for mass production at scale, but the quality is not super-high, perhaps even intentionally.

I think, when it comes down to it, lots of people can afford those $1000—or more—furnitures. When people here in the Nordics are done with their furniture, it's often just given away for free on our Craigslist equivalents. And not just the cheap stuff! Often you find really high quality stuff being given away for free. In fact, I found my favourite antique chair in a dumpster! All it needed was a bit of dusting off, and I've had it for over 20 years now. It's simply a very sturdy and high quality armchair. And their previous owners opted to throw it away rather than to even list it.

Personally I really like to list stuff, though, because it's an easy way to get others to do the heavy lifting for you. So probably that explains at least some of it. ;)

> Can a Birdy client with internet access serve as a gateway to other Birdy clients without internet access?

That's so far unclear to me as well. I will say, if they can crib some code or at least hints on how that might be done (provided they even want to support that feature), there was an old app out there called EnsiChat[1] that IIRC had internet relays running on servers, but was P2P-first.

So: if Alice could see Bob directly via P2P, they could chat. Or, if Alice could see Bob indirectly, they could still chat.

No idea if it supported meshing P2P connections to get Alice's message to Bob via Alice -> internet relay -> Frank -> Dmitry -> Bob

> I'd much rather make sure they don't become monopolistic. The situation you describe with TV must not happen with social media too.

I'd love to see more variety in social media. Unfortunately network effects favor big single player. Also, every time a new entrant threatens, they get sucked up by an existing player. Sadly, since we've allowed Facebook to swallow everything which isn't bolted down, the only real competition seems to be Chinese owned[0].

(And I sympathize with foreign governments struggling with Facebook & Instagram being US owned).

[0] I have no qualms about Chinese people or even Chinese companies in general. But the way the Chinese government operates, I am skeptical of platforms based on speech.

Everybody at my Jiu-Jitsu academy knows I don't have social media. Until COVID that was never really a problem.

After the first shutdown lifted somewhat, the health department mandates requires us to be part of small "pods" to help contain any spread (as an aside, that has worked surprisingly well considering how close in contact people are) We're also restricted to a limited number days we can train so pod members have to coordinate with each other the classes we're planning to attend so that we don't show up and be the only guy or gal in our pod that night.

You know how we invariably coordinate? Email or text. Primarily email in fact. It wasn't planned or dictated by anyone. It just worked out that way.

On what basis do you say that? The purpose of this plane is close in air support with the ability to hang around in the middle of a battle. All of the replacement jets can fly over drop some munitions and they fly off. If you are lucky they did the job, but if they missed or the target survived you have to call them back. The A10 comes in, chews everything you pointed out to rubble, asked you if they got it and if not they are still there and adjust and do it again. In a long running firefight in mountains and canyons the ability to point the finger of god at any random outcropping as needed over and over as you move down the path is priceless.

I wish there was more on the different types/uses of social media. Twitter != Facebook != Goodreads != HN and so on. Even within different social media there is varying uses - using FB groups to find affinity groups like Woodworkers or a shared hobby and more is very different than just doom scrolling the news feed. I didn't get through to the actual report (just the linked article), so maybe there is more there.
If by BFO you are referring to "Basic Formal Ontologies", then yes, I'm referring to that "crowd".

My thoughts on ontologies in general are that they can certainly be powerful, and I've seen them used in the past in rules engines that powered fraud detection applications.

In the SemWeb community, in the late 2000s, they successfully convinced a bunch of CIOs of massive organizations, especially in the US Federal Government, that a key to being able to centralize and federate all of their data, and save money on duplicative systems, they could simply have semantic mappings on top of every IT system's databases, and query this semantic layer. Ideally, they could eliminate duplicated data, so that all systems would get data from the "Authoritative Data Source" system instead of duplicating it locally in the application's database.

I'm sure you can immediately see why this is wildly stupid and unrealistic. Imagine what it would look like if every single piece of data that I can technically obtain from another source has to remain in that source, and that storing that data locally with my application specific data is forbidden..... Suddenly, there is a massive increase in I/O, drop in performance, etc.

The whole project taught me a lesson about the politics of academia, and how there is a segment of the population that is highly educated, and has learned how to manufacture work for themselves outside of academia by pushing for high-level government officials to implement programs based on their theories..... MITRE was a big part of this particular project.

> Applications, especially desktop applications, are nothing like that. Seperations of concerns gains you very little there.

I think you are making critical mistake here.

IAccessible & Co. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/oleacc/nn...) maps nearly directly onto HTML DOM tree. So no matter what CSS you have there your UI will accessible.

The thing is that accessibility works acceptable only on semantic DOM trees. HTML and its DOM was designed with that in mind. Flutter's DOM is not, it is not semantic - it is a Dart code that defines visual structure for particular screen layout.

Mobile applications are significantly less demanding (more simple in UI terms) - they have very reduced set of components and layouts. Essentially all mobile UIs are built with <radio>,<checkbox>,<button> and <list> vocabulary.

The reason is simple: most of the time mobile apps are serving "reading user" role. While desktop is the place for "writing user"s (a.k.a "content generation" role). Desktop is the place where you must support different editing, object manipulation paradigms - UI on desktop is more rich. Just check apps on your mobile - 90% of them are very close UI-wise.
